Writing for the Newspaper,

A correspondent writes us, with an
accompanying article: {" 1 hope to send
some household papers soon, but it is
so hot, and with all my work to do
alone l cannot write much that would
interest any one just now" That is
the sort of woman which helps to make
our state what it is-the nearest to the
ideal republic of any place in the
world, where people not only labor with
their hands, but are educated so that
they have intelligent ideas which they
can properly express. Ideas from such
a source must be practical Coming
from one who " does her own work."
they must in some degree be record
of experience. And how many such
women there are in Vermont-in-
telligent, educated, refined, capable of
furnishing for each other and others
less gifted entertaining and instructive
articles through the press; but how few
of them do so. Some lack confidence
and many find scant time to pen their
thoughts. and when the days labors
are over feel too weary to write or even
TO think connectedly. We can APP
preciate it all, but we wish all the same
that we could hear from more of them.

Questions Answered.

N. H., ESSEX.-Ihe checks given in
payment of pension are payable within
ninety days from date and not after
wards. If you retain your pension
checks longer than ninety days you
will have to send to Washington and
have them reissued.
N. H., BURLINGToN.-If your claim
for a pension was rejected for the rea-
son that the records showed that YOU
were deserter from the United States
service you ought to apply to the
Acknowledgement of the United States
army to have that charge removed from
the records.
X. L., GROToN.-If the soldiers
widow did not receive a pension of 50
per month for each of her children up to
the date of her remarriage the children
themselves cannot receive it back of
her remarriage, as their right to pen
sion commenced at that date. All the
pension was due the widow while she
remained unmarried.
II. c., UNDERHILL CENTER.-Mr.
Holiday of Washington, ID. c.. whom
you employed to prosecute your claim
for pension, has been dead for some
time. You have the right to employ
another attorney to complete your pen
sion claim. Senator Morrill, recently
advised an applicant for pension to
employ competent attorney at home,
as he had no confidence in any of the
Washington claim agents.
N. X. w., STowE.-The rate of pen
sion for disability resulting from rheu-
matism and heart disease is not fixed
by law, Notwithstanding the commits
sioner of pensions says that you are re-
ceiving the full amount of pension to
which you are entitled under the law.
The rate of pension varies from 81 to
$50 a month on each of said diseases.
according to the disability resulting
therefrom, which is to be shown by
testimony and the report of the board
of surgeons who make the examna-
ton. If you are entitled to higher
rate, procure an affidavit from your
family physician describing your con-
dition and file it in the pension office.
Then you will receive an order to re-
port to another board of surgeons for
examination, and if the last examina-
ton shows that you ought to have a
higher rate your pension will be in
creased.

Experience of a Union Veteran with
Celebrated Rebel.

Who ever thinks of romance. thrill
ing experiences, hair-breadth escapes,
dashing adventures and fierce encount-
ers in connection with men we see every
day occupied about the common hum
drum of ordinary civil life? And vet
among our daily associates are men who
can recall from personal recollections
stirring episodes and situations fraught
with sinister importance. Homer Rug
giles, bookseller and stationer-a
quiet, pleasant-mannered man, with
nothing about him suggestive of the
dragoon-is one of the veterans of the
late rebellion, and his hand that now
yields nothing more deadly than lead
pencil has gripped his sabre fiercely in
headlong charge upon the confeder-
ate squadrons; he has been vidette,
sitting statue-like in his saddle on the
outermost lines of the federal camp,
his form outlined against the midnight
sky, a clear and easy mark for an enc
my's rifle. One of Mr.. Ruggles' expe-
riences may be briefly given here: A
small body of confederate horsemen had
made a stand on rising ground near
Greenwich, Va, small town situated
about half way between Manassas Gap
and the Orange Il Alexandria rail-
road They had in their possession a
twelve-pound howitzer that had been
captured from the Union forces at
Balls Bluff. With this small piece of
ordnance they commanded narrow
lane that was little more than a ditch
and constituted the only approach, es-
pecially for cavalry. Detachments
from companies G and II, First Ver-
mont Cavalry, under the command of
a second lieutenant, numbering alto
gether some eighty men sergeant
Ruggles being the ranking sergeant of
his own detachment), was ordered to
charge upon the lane. Desperate as
the chances were, the Green Mountain
boys rose in their stirrups and re-
sponded with cheer; then, squirting
forward, dashed at the position. The
lieutenant fell almost Immediately I'M
der discharge from the howitzer, but
on sped our Vermonters. Heavy loss
to the charging squadron was of
course inevitable. 1t soon became a
fight at close quarters with revolvers.
While this was in progress some half
dozen or more of the enemy, dis
mounted, had succeeded in reloading
the howitzer, and as one of them was
in the act of discharging it our boys
gained the summit. One of them
struck at the head of the gunner, but
too late to prevent the destruction Gre
ated by the death-dealing howitzer
With the sharp end of his blade the
Vermonter succeeded in looping off
two fingers of the man who fired it. .
The position and the gun were, how
ever, taken, and, save their command
ing officer only, the confederates who
were mounted hastily galloped off.
Their commander remained long enough
to empty his revolver into the Yankees,
who were rapidly gathering about him,
and from his pistol Sergeant Ruggles
received a wound in the side. The
ball struck his own pistol, hattened
out and made wound that resembled
dagger thrust. The confederates
were commanded by Colonel Mosby,
and among the dead rebels was found
the body of a captain of the British
army, who was serving as volunteer

Georgia Boiled Rice.

The boiling of rice is not always well
done, and yet it is the simplest of mat
tiers. That it should be dry is doubly i'm
portant when the intention is to serve
it as an addition to another vegetable
dish with a savory sauce. After wash
ing the rice, put it over the fire in
plenty of actually boiling, sailed water,
and boil it fast for twelve minutes;
then drain off all the water; place the
saucepan containing the rice either in
the oven, with the door open, or on a
brick upon the back of the stove, and
let it steam for ten minutes longer, or
until it is as tender as desirable. Every
grain will be distinct and the rice quite
free from moisture. Rice boiled too
long is watery and soggy. When it is
tender it may be seasoned with salt,
pepper and butter, or served plain

Cooking Green Corn.

Every American housewife is sup
posed to know how to cook corn, but
the southern cooks eXcelled by leaving
on the sweet, inner husks, first strip
ping them down to remove the silk,
and then tying them in place again.
The corn so boiled, directly it was
gathered, and served with a bowl of
sweet butter heated, and well seasoned
with salt and pepper, was delicious be-
yond comparison. The full ears may be
grated and the pulp stewed in white
sauce or cream, or fried with butter,
salt and pepper.-JuHet Corson, IN

The Vermont Cavalry.

The regiment of which l was a men,
Der rendezvoused at Burlington, VT,
October u, 1861, and was the first
and only cavalry regiment from Ver-
mont After being in camp few days
and doing guard duty with sharp sticks
the boys became anxious to get to the
front. Camp rumor had it that we
never should leave the state: that be-
fore we could get equipments and a
little drilling on horseback the war
would be ended. Well do l remember
how some of the most patriotic wanted
to get transferred to the infantrv-any-
thing to get to the front and throttle
the rebellion at once. But time passed
on, equipments and arms arrived and
the night of December l6, 1861, found
us in Washington, ID. c. Our resting
place for the night and for several
nights following was deserted grave

they were opened. 1t was not pleas

pouring rain. If you ever saw home

Vermonters. The next day and night
were passed in viewing the city of

the late-comers to camp the second
night neared what they thought was
their tent they would 90 plump into a
grave half full of water. Then such
words as they used would blister paper.
But it was fun for those in their tents,
and many hal hal was raised during
the night as one and another would
tumble into the open graves. On the
25th of December, 1861, we started
from Washington to march to Annapo-
lis, Md, where we were to make winter
quarters. Marching all day, we found
at night that we had taken the wrong
road, and we were as far from Annapo-
lis as when we started in the morning.

Timely Suggestions.

TO REMOVE GREASE STAINS FROM
WALL-PAPER.-Dampen a piece of
brown paper, lay on it enough plaster
OF Paris to cover the spot, lay it quickly
on the wall and press with a hot iron.
The plaster will cling to the wall. Let
it remain for twenty-four hours; then
brush off. If the grease is not gone
repeat the operation. Two applica-
tions will generally remove the most
obstinate spot. The iron should be
held over the spot firmly and steadily
for some minutes, taking care not to
have it so hot that it will scorch
through the brown paper on to the
paper of the wall.
How TO CLEAN POLISHED FRYING
PANs.-These pans, which are known
as French frying-pans to distinguish
them from cast-iron spiders, are beau
tifully polished when new, but turn
black after use, and if not carefully
cared for acquire rough, unseemly
appearance, often rendering them of
little value to the cook. None of the
ordinary soaps in the kitchen will re-
move the traces of burnt food. They
may be readily kept clean and bright
by simple method. Throw in the
frying-pan cup of vinegar and two
heaping tablespoonful of salt. Heat
this mixture till it boils and let it stand
in the frying-pan for short time; then
wash it out and scour thoroughly with
powdered brick-dust.
THE CARE OF COoK-STovEs.-A
book might well be written on this sub
lect II 1t included the care of fuel, drafts
and chimneys. 1t is impossible to cal
culate the amount of unnecessary work
done every day by workers who are act
ing IN opposition to the simplest laws
OF physics. The care we refer to is
simply external care. A bright, we'll
blackened stove is a just source of pride
to any cook. This blackening should
not be frequently repeated, however,
as if one coat of backing is placed over
another it soon begins to scale off in
fine powder. 1t is best to see that
the cook-stove is free, or nearly free,
from old backing before any new coat
is put on. Parts of the stove which
have become dull may often be
dampened and polished bright with
brush every morning before the fire is
klndled, but coat of backing should
not be applied oftener than once a
month. If the backing is mixed up
with a little cold coffee it will last
longer. All good ranges are now made
with polished edges, and these edges
should never be BACKED, but secured
with brick-dust and soap and wiped dry.
All nickel work about the stove must
be polished with chamois skin and
Oh L.
furnished with stove-cloths, so that
any grease may be quickly wiped off the
stove before it burns in. Anything
split accidentally over the stove should
be cleaned off at once, but if this has
not been done obstinate spots may be
removed by tea-spoonful of kerosene
poured on cloth and rubbed rapidly
over the spot.-BoSton Herald.

I" Helen of Troy"

The following delicate little poem we eli
we are greatly in error it bears the impre
of the pen of " the member from Hartland
As I sit in my hammered sanctum,
with the buzzing of work on my ear
There many feet that come to my door
With errands strange and queer
The scuing step of the lazy SLOUGH,
The dame with her rustling train,
The boyish tread of the'shoeless feet
And the step of the man with a cane,
The quick, switch step of the brightsA& miss,
Who comes for ounce of tea, y
The walk of the gent who comes for a smoke
They are all familiar to me.
There are welcome and unwelcome steps,
And steps am glad to hear;
They bring me n moment of pleasant chat
And leave me measure of cheer
But the dearest step in this patterng throng-
Man maid and barefoot boy
Is the tiny tread Of guleess girl,
IT'S the step of my Helen of Troy"
She wears little peaked hat
And a bodice checked with blue,
with buttercup in either hand
And a smell of each for you.
Up the steps she struggles one at a time,
As see her through the door,
With her chubby hands on the forward stair
And her quick step on the floor.
Like the flushing roses and lilies sweet
She blooms with artless grace;
She wears the lilies upon her breast,
The roses in her face.
There's music in this little step,
Its notes are all in tune;
1t turns our sadness into Joy,
December into June.

Baby Hunnors
And all Skin and Scalp Dis
eases Speedily Cured
by Cuticura.

Our little son will be four years of age the 25th
instant. In May, 1885, he was attacked with very
painful breaking out of the skin. We called in
physician, who treated him about four weeks. The
child received little or no good from the treatment
as the breaking out supposed by the physician to be
hives in an aggravated form, became larger in
blotches, and more and more distressing. We were
frequently obliged to get up in the night and rub him
with soda in water, strong liniments, etc. Finally
we called other physicians, until no less than six
had attempted to cure him, all alike failing, and the
child steadily getting worse and worse until about
the 10Th of last July, when we began to give him
CUTICURA REsoLvENT internally and the CUTI-
CURA and CUT1CURA SOAP externally, and by the
last of August he was so nearly well that gave
him only one dose of the REsOLvENT about every
second day for about ten days longer, and he has
never been troubled since with the horrible malady
In all we used less than one-half of bottle of CT
TICURA REsoLvENT, little less than one box of
CUT1CuRA and only one cake of CUTICuRA SOAR.
